https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61511 Bug ID: 61511 Summary: scanf man page is misleading re out-of-range integer conversions Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: arequipeno@xxxxxxxxx Regression: No Unless I'm missing it, the scanf man page doesn't really specifically address the result of an out-of-range integer conversion -- e.g. sscanf("9999999999999999999999999999999", "%d", &i). The ERRORS section, however, says this: ERANGE The result of an integer conversion would exceed the size that can be stored in the corresponding integer type. This is definitely *not* the behavior that I'm seeing. Instead, sscanf is returning 1 and -1 is assigned to i. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
